Personal Finance Service Aggregates Hand-selected Twitter Feeds; Provides Educational Content and Topical News from the Twitterverse

Mountain View, Calif., Nov 12, 2009 – Mint.com (www.mint.com), a leading online personal finance service from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), today launched “Money Tweets”, extending its award-winning blog that collects all the best personal finance educational content and topical news from across the Twittersphere, and delivers it on a single, streamlined platform at www.mint.com/blog/twitter/.

It expands upon the Mint.com updates and editorial content that have already attracted more than half a million unique visitors each month.

“Twitter has grown into an essential element of our marketing and customer service efforts, but creating your own personalized list of feeds to follow can be time consuming,” said Aaron Patzer, vice president and general manager of Intuit’s Personal Finance group. “We have taken the work out of this search for our users – and by adding a ‘popular’ tab, Mint.com tracks the hottest finance-related terms in real time, delivering a zeitgeist for finance terms in Twitter.”
